​

EventGuard Pro is committed to keeping swimmers of all ages safe. Whether at a backyard pool, community pool, spa, or special aquatic event, the following rules must be followed at all times.

​

1. General Safety Rules (Apply Everywhere)

  • No swimming without adult supervision. A responsible adult or lifeguard must be present.

  • Follow lifeguard instructions immediately. Guards are trained to prevent accidents.

  • No running, pushing, or horseplay near the water. Slippery decks lead to serious injuries.

  • No diving in shallow water. Enter feet-first unless the area is designated for diving.

  • No glass containers near pools or spas. Broken glass cannot be safely cleaned from pool water.

  • Stay hydrated and rest often. Swimming while tired or overheated increases risk.

  • Keep emergency exits clear. Driveways, gates, and pool entries must always remain accessible.

​

2. Private / Backyard Pools

  • Children under 14 years old must be supervised at all times, even if they are strong swimmers.

  • Ensure the pool area is fenced, gated, and locked when not in use.

  • Remove toys and floats from the water when not swimming, they attract unsupervised kids.

  • Hosts must provide shade, drinking water, and rest breaks for swimmers.

  • Designate a “Water Watcher” if no lifeguard is present, an adult whose only job is to watch swimmers.

​

3. Community & HOA Pools

  • Obey posted pool rules. These may include hours, attire, and capacity limits.

  • Children under 12 years old should not swim without an adult present.

  • Lifeguards on duty are not babysitters, parents/guardians remain responsible for their children.

  • Report damaged equipment (ladders, drains, covers) to management immediately.

  • Glass, alcohol, or unauthorized parties are prohibited unless permitted by HOA.

  • Do not prop gates open, access control is essential for safety.

​

4. Open Water Pools (Lakes, Reservoirs, Natural Swimming Areas)*

(EventGuard Pro does not currently staff open water events, but these rules apply if you swim at one.)

  • Always wear a U.S. Coast Guard-approved life jacket when swimming outside a pool.

  • Swim only in designated areas with posted markers or buoys.

  • Never swim alone or at night, open water conditions can change quickly.

  • Beware of strong currents, underwater hazards, and sudden drop-offs.

  • Alcohol and open water swimming never mix.

We plan to staff open water events In 2026.

​

5. Spas & Hot Tubs

  • Children under 5 years old should not use hot tubs.

  • Limit use to 15 minutes to avoid overheating.

  • Pregnant women and individuals with heart conditions should consult a doctor before use.

  • Keep water temperature below 104°F (40°C).

  • Never submerge your head or swim underwater in a hot tub, entrapment hazards exist.

​

6. Emergency Preparedness

  • Know the location of rescue equipment (ring buoy, reaching pole, first aid kit).

  • Keep a phone nearby to dial 911 in case of emergency.

  • Learn CPR and First Aid, seconds count in aquatic emergencies, we will be offering classes soon.
